2FA isn't limited to a single device. With 1Password, a TOTP code is available on my laptop, on my phone, on my watch, via an encrypted backup, etc. If you have access to a computer, you can access your second factor. That's not even counting paper backups as others have mentioned.
Not sure how anonymity factors in here. How can typing a number into your phone to set up TOTP then typing the resulting numbers back into your already-authenticated account deanonymize you?
Finally, yes, adding more security is a hassle. But if you're willing to add 5 seconds to your login on one account, I don't see why you'd be super against doing that for multiple accounts.
